Where to buy a basketball goal? (how much, live, price)

[MikeJaquish]

I'm looking at one piece 4.5"-5.5" square poles, 54" to 60" tempered glass, in-ground, and want to have it installed.

I have been to Dick's and WoodPlay of the Carolinas looking at goals.
I don't really prefer to order on line and scramble for an installer.

Does anyone recommend either store, or someone else?

I've heard of these guys but have no experience with them.

Sport Court Carolina

I'll ask dh where we got ours...we used a guy in apex to assemble and he will install too I think.

I ordered my basketball goal online and had it delivered. I installed it myself, but maybe others can help on who the hired to do their installation. IMO, you get a better quality goal for the same or lower price going this route.

we did better online, actually got ours from an ebay retailer, and then used John at prosetgoalinstall.com to do the installation. Ours was a portable system but I think he does in-ground as well. Local retailers delivery and installation charge was more than his installation charge and the cost of the goal even with delivery was considerably less for a goal from the same manufacturer as the local retailers had.

Can anyone recommend a company or person who can install an in-ground basketball system at a residential home? I'm looking for recommendations for someone who has experience or references in this area. I checked Google, and not much appeared as afar as recommendations.

Any or tips or advice is appreciated as well.

Thanks

I hired a guy off Craigslist, and he was shifty.
If I had to do it over, I would hire John at www.prosetgoalinstall.com
